The Architecture could be a lot more cutting edge, and/or have a more distinct URBAN-look & feel to them, rather than the overdone and seen Suburban offering they have started with here.
No Balcony should be permitted (as people just use them for a random piece of patio furniture, cat scratching posts, rubbermaid bins, broken-down Sports equipment + garbage bags they are too lazy to walk to the dumpster. (Be Honest: we have all seen it and/or been guilty of it)
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The townhouse design is also merely hiding the fact that this is nothing more than a rooming house/student residences as within the 6-stackable townhomes are to be 30+ bedrooms w/ a mere 12 parking spaces on a street/neighbourhood where there is already no parking to be found for those of us who already live and work here.
Perhaps the Strathcona Community Council and WARD 1 City Counsellor, Maureen Wilson will speak up for the residents of this tiny street located in a small little pocket sandwiched between MAIN & KING to ensure that this development, as planned, will NOT get approval from City Hall.
The total lack of Parking Spaces vs the # of bedrooms planned on a street zoned both Commercial & Residential that require "X-amount" of Parking to reflect the needs of that street/area/the residents who live there but their property has no parking due to the fact that the houses and lots were there long before the Automobile was on the scene.
Let us all work together to ensure responsible, sensitive, interesting and Beautiful building get built in our city to ADD not detract from the cityscape, while addressing and taking care of those already living there to ensure their quality of life and ability to live, work, and park their car on the street they actually live on
